Run Resque on Heroku

Overview¶ ↑

Automatically handle db connection and disconnection during forking of resque jobs on Heroku Cedar stack.

This plugin is for Rails only since it hooks into ActiveRecord callbacks.

Fixes the following postgres log errors…

PGError: server closed the connection unexpectedly

And

LOG:  could not receive data from client: Connection reset by peer
LOG:  unexpected EOF on client connection
